Dear Friends and Future Musicians!…read more Have you've always wanted to learn to play a stringed instrument - guitar, bass, banjo or ukulele and you just haven't been able to get any traction? You've tried all the usual methods - DVDs, books, online tutorials, virtual lessons... they help, but you want someone to walk you through the process. You're thinking that maybe some actual lessons could help. But you don't want just any teacher. You don't a teacher who spends your time "showing off" and then expecting you to try to catch up. You want a teacher who'll meet you exactly where you're at right now and help you progress to the place you want to be as a musician. If that sounds like the kind of person you're looking for, then it's time to check out Greg Norgaard at Greg's Pickin' Parlor for an affordable hands on personal experience! Specializing in Beginner and Intermediate levels! I've been taking private lessons from Greg for about 6 months. He's taken me so much further musically than I was ever able to on my own. And I'm thrilled that I found him! His lessons are thorough, easy to understand and affordable. I'm 41 years old and living proof that it's never too late to pursuit something you love! I highly recommend!

What a fantastic Piano teacher! I am so happy I found Music Schoolhouse, finally an exceptional all…read morearound Music/piano teacher. Not an old ladies house teaching old school tunes with no advancement, or a fancy place that charges you an arm and a leg for lessons. Mila teaches out of a super cute studio, she is so kind and patient and actually expresses a genuine interest in your learning. I really like that she has an educational university level background in Piano and Music and doesn't just teach you piano songs back to back. (Like the teachers I had growing up). She delves into music theory, history, composition, form, sight reading, ear training etc. it really makes the learning effective and long term. She continuously updates her curriculums to new techniques and keeps up with modern pieces. She even offers educational music group classes for toddlers while also ranging to adult students. She is very organized has great communication, not sure what the other review was talking about, they probably just didn't read her payment setup which is super easy and convenient. She stays up to date with all of her students and will always answer questions about her policies. I have learned so much from Mila, she is an incredible piano teacher.

I feel like this is going to be a great help for my daughter to help her achieve her academic and personal goals for 7th grade and establish a routine that will help her for the rest of her schooling years and possibly beyond because it will also help her to be organized which she struggles with just a bit. We were very impressed after just one meeting with her coach. So, glad we decided to use FACS. I am going to recommend it to my niece and nephews.

They sent the…read morematerials for class a few business days before class with an ETA to arrive after class has started. I noticed this and tried to have it delivered on time but the only answer I got was "I'm sorry". They don't fix the problem, they tell you to send an email but don't answer them, they seem to care more about their profits than students.
